Pessimism About Pedro
Metsblog.com notes pessimism about Pedro Martinez's future coming from a Jayson Stark blog entry (subscription required).
At his blog for ESPN.com, Jayson Stark talks with a high-ranking official of an American League team, who is reasonably familiar with Pedro Martinez's medical history, who doesn't think Martinez will win 10 more games the rest of his career.
Players could post a 4.50 ERA and easily win 10 games with a good offense. So either this official thinks that Pedro won't regain any percentage of his stuff, or that the shoulder will just break down again once he starts pitching.

Come on Dave, just come out and say its Larry Luccino. The only AL team with any access to Pedro's medical records is the Red Sox, and reports like this seem a lot more his style than Theo's.
I'm thinking Jim Duquette. And it is just blowing smoke. He will win 10 if he is ever healthy enough to take the mound again. There's been no sign post surgery that he's done.
It might someone in the expos org...
um. nevermind.
Hi Larry.
The kind of shoulder surgery that Pedro has is usually career-ending. If he does come back to win 10 more games, he'll be nearly unprecedented in doing so.
